Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer added another layer of analysis to President Obama’s seriously not political announcement on Friday that he intends to loosen deportation standards and allow young “non-criminal” illegal aliens to stay in this country legally by issuing work permits. The Supreme Court’s decision on S.B. 1070, Arizona’s attempt to actually enforce border security and deter illegal immigration in the face of federal laxity, is due this week or the next, and a lot of analysts have speculated that Arizona has a good shot at winning the case. Team Obama needed to get out in front of the bad PR that could come if SCOTUS does indeed rule against the Obama’s Justice Department, as well as render the law less effective (h/t Katie Pavlich):

Gov. Jan Brewer blasted President Barack Obama Friday for taking what she called a “pre-emptive strike” against the state’s tough illegal immigration enforcement law. …

“It is no coincidence that this sweeping policy change was announced less than five months before a presidential election,” she said during a late morning press conference.

“Most importantly this unilateral act is a pre-emptive strike against the United States Supreme Court and its decision on Senate Bill 1070, which may come as early as this Monday.” …

Should the justices uphold the law as it was originally passed, Brewer says the president’s decision could undercut the bill’s effectiveness.

“The crux of Senate Bill 1070, of course, is documentation,” Brewer said. “And what he has done by his announcement today is that he’s going to give documentation to nearly a million people that have arrived in our country illegally and not by the rule of law.”

As Brewer argues, the president’s executive power-move can definitely be at least partially chalked up to an assault on Arizona’s ability to combat the effects of the many illegal immigrants living in their state. But, don’t forget, it’s not political.

The fact that Mexican President Felipe Calderon is applauding Obama’s move should indeed be cause for raised eyebrows.

After the two leaders met one-on-one before the start of the G-20 summit in Los Cabos, President Felipe Calderon thanked Obama for what he called an “unprecedented” move in halting the deportations.

“We believe this is very just,” Calderon said, according to an interpreter, adding: “Thank you for the valor and courage that you had in implementing this action. I’m sure many, many families in the United States thank you as well.”

So if SCOTUS and the President disagree, who wins? This could set up a constitutional crisis…

Wonder if calderon will bring up F&F with bho? Probably not, both are getting funds from the drugs and drug gangs in both countries? YOU will notice my ‘?’!

Gov. Brewer, like all states who have to deal with illegals, and that is almos EVERY state, bho just slapped you and your citizens in the face with his eo Friday. I hope to goodness the SC rules your immigration law is what bho/team SHOULD be doing as their duty, but bho/team have no reason but re-election to do anything?
L

So Obama Hussein Odinga + Erica Holder provide guns to mexican cartels to kill Americans,
plus
launder drug money for mexican cartels,
plus
give US citizen rights to illegals .
And we are supposed to believe that these 2 are not enemies of our country ?
WHY ?

We believe this is very just,” Calderon said, according to an interpreter, adding: “Thank you for the valor and courage that you had in implementing this action. I’m sure many, many in the United States corrupt Mexican Politicans thank you as well.”

He added: “There is no way, nada, we could support all these people with our bankrupt socialist system. Especially all the criminals we send over your border.”

So, Felipe, I assume you will also be loosening YOUR immigration laws as well, because, well, turn abouts fair play. We have an entire welfare class that believe that Obama has a stash, will pay for their gas, rent, healthcare and we think it would be JUST for us to dump them on your country. Okay?
Oh, and we will also be dumping the city of Detroit, Rio Linda, and Berkely on you as well.
You’re welcome, you talking pile of crap.

The Failed President is a narcissist liar, socialist, a statist, and is destroying America. He is a very dangerous man and ignores the law in general, the will of the American people, Congress, and the Constitution. There are no longer massive adoring crowds to deceive. For the first time in Barack Obama’s life, he is accountable.

Obama has never stood for individualism, capitalism, or liberty. The White House has been marginalized and he has proven himself to be the most inept president in modern history. He is symbolic of a man who has downgraded the White House, the Constitution, human life, foreign policy, race relations, and America herself.

The majority of Americans are sick of his condescension, his policies, his racist bigotry, and his incompetence. Obama is “the most disastrous president in our history.”

This is the most corrupt, incompetent, dangerous tyrannical administration in American history. He is an arrogant, hyper-partisan, race-baiting, and a committed Black Liberation Socialist.

President Obama flaunts a sinister, in-your-face egotism; the self-gratifying arrogance of a narcissist that would issue an Executive Order sealing all of his personal records within 24 hours of taking office. His character is arrogance, conceit, egotism, vanity, hubris and, above all, rank amateurism.

“We believe this is very just,” Calderon said, according to an interpreter, adding: “Thank you for the valor and courage that you had in implementing this action. I’m sure many, many families in the United States thank you as well.”

Calderon, you failure of a human non-entity, better your own country, you fool.

Media questioners…you fools eat Obama’s caca and still mistake it for Beluga caviar.

So if SCOTUS and the President disagree, who wins? This could set up a constitutional crisis…

In the days of Andrew Jackson, he said “They’ve made their decision, now let them enforce it.”

If Obama tries that, I don’t think it will end well. By that, I figure that the various federal circuit courts will ALL start issuing summary judgments against the government until it accepts the ruling the Arizona law and ObamaCare.

They’re capable of tying the government up in knots if they feel they’re being disrespected, as a US Attorney found out when questioned by the Fifth Circuit after Obama’s posturing on ObamaCare.

Calderon thanked our fearless leader for his, “valor and courage,” in implementing this action? Calderon doesn’t want those folks returning to their real homes, as there are no jobs there either!Both of these liars are trying to buy voter’s off!!!

Governor Brewer should simply announce that like President Obama, she is going to ignore any “documentation” provided to young illegals in her state that run afoul of SB 1070. Let Obama try to sue her again.

With the unemployment rate for young adults under 30 spiraling out of control over 16%, Obama floods that labor sector with over 800,000 new workers to compete for those same jobs because, “it is the right thing”. The right thing for WHO, Obama?

I’d like to know how the government is going to process and verify eligibility on 800,000 work permit applications in any kind of timely fashion.

To the extent the candidates are expecting instant results, Mr. Obama’s non-political decision may create a lot of dissatisfaction.

If the administration decides to just issue work permits without verification to avoid dissatisfaction among the hispanic voting block, I suspect 800,000 is going to turn into 2,000,000 very quickly. This non-enforcement program is going to be a magnet for illegal immigrants who look like they are under 30.

We are looking at a classic example of governing by “the end justifies the means.” I wonder how many people who voted for Mr. Obama in 2008 knew they were voting for a marxist.

What Obama is doing is disgusting. He is turning to an army of illegal foreigners to keep his job. He will sell American sovereignty to Mexico just to win an election.
What is even worse is how the Congress doesn’t do a damn thing about it.
John Boehner is a disgrace.

Wonder if he’d think it was “very just” if we loaded up 20 or 30 million of America’s poorest and least-educated citizens and dumped them on his side of the border, then flooded their courts with U.S. goverment-paid lawyers demanding all sorts of taxpayer-funded benefits (schooling, health care, etc.) for those new “undocumented Mexican citizens”?

“The crux of Senate Bill 1070, of course, is documentation,” Brewer said. “And what he has done by his announcement today is that he’s going to give documentation to nearly a million people that have arrived in our country illegally and not by the rule of law.”

Why would this dicision to ignore the law by the Obama administration stop Arizona from enforcing state law? No documents have been issued to the “dreamers” and non-dreamers still will not have any documentation.Illegal parents can still be arrested and removed from the country. I also don’t see how this stops so-called “dreamers” from being arrested under state law. The Obama administration can just refuse to deport them.According to the Washington Post Alabama is still enforcing their law and driving illegals out of the state.

I’ve never thought Obama was stupid. What is is diabolical. He is a product of the Chicago machine. We’ve seen it since day one with this guy. He uses underhanded thug tactics, union goons, black panthers, ignores the Constitution, EO’s, Obamacare being passed in with a lot of arm twistings and back door deals. He appoints radicals to implement his agenda ie Van Jones, Eric Holder, Valerie Jarrett, Axelrod, Emmanuel, Ayers etc…This man isn’t stupid, he’s a radical left-wing product of a Black Liberation Theology. He and his followers aren’t pro-America. They are dangerous. They must be defeated. Friday’s immigration announcement is just par for the course (pun intended since Obama just had his 100th tee time)

Felipe doesn’t want the kids back. He might have to pay them an entitlement or something. Brewer’s right, the regime is in panic politicize everything mode in order to save the incumbent. Oblamo must have already taken his best shot across the bow for Zerocare as it may be decided next week, too.

I’ve been think that Obama’s evolution on gays and now immigration were things that Obama probably wanted to roll out later in the summer or fall–in each case, closer to the election. The gay move was forced by blabbermouth Biden. The immigration move was forced by the past two weeks of news.

With the gay move, Obama really isn’t doing anything. With the immigration move, they actually have to execute a program. Maybe he can stall for five months, but I think the GOP should start pressing him on its legitimacy and also its logistics–the bureaucracy and funding necessary to process all these sweet angels. If Obama had waited until, say, Labor Day or the DNCC, he could have shuffled his feet implementing. But he’s far enough out that he may actually have to get on this. And God help him if there are any Willie Hortons in this group with new status.

In the end, I think Obama et al. must have be worried enough about the past two weeks being punctuated by adverse rulings on Obamacare and and SB 1070 to roll out the immigration move now.

I’ve thought about this. You don’t want to do the hard work available, no welfare.

Hornet…I lived it! Switzerland didn’t grant citizenship easily but did have a system of permits for workers. Besides the initial application to be able to work there (essentially proving no Swiss could be able to perform what I did), it entailed an annual “visit” for the entire family to the Kreisburo. Not a bad deal because we made it a picnic day.

The Lunatic-left D-cRAT Socialist Plan for Arizona’s Immigration Reform Law SB1070:
Should the Supreme Court do the right hing and fully uphold SB1070, the socialist extremists have a plan to prevent enactment of this law. When the Supremes issue their ruling supporting this law, they will issue a directive to d-cRAT socialist activist “judge” Susan Bolton to lift her injunction of the law. However, the Supremes WILL NOT define a date when Bolton must comply. Therefore, she will delay ANY action on her part until AFTER the Nov. election, thus preventing the law from being fully enacted until then. The hope of the lunatic-left is that OBOZO will manage to steal another election with massive voting fraud – and we all know that he’ll have “more flexibility” if he is re-elected. In particular, OBOZO, if he retains power, will issue another dictatorial degree that blocks implementation of SB1070 – and he will, in effect, tell the US Supreme Count and the US Congress to go to hell (again).

The fact that Mexican President Felipe Calderon is applauding Obama’s move should indeed be cause for raised eyebrows.

Yeah. Calderon should have been slapped silly and unceremoniously dumped over the border when he had the gall to come to OUR CONGRESS and bad-mouth the US and an American State. The dems applauding him and their Dear Dog-Eater should have received the identical treatment. They should all be stewing in lovely Mexico right this moment, driving that joke of a nation even further into the ground – the traitorous bastids and their love for the America-hating idiot Presidente of Mexico.

I’ve thought about this. You don’t want to do the hard work available, no welfare.

Yeah, we’re the suckers on immigration. We will let anyone in…they’re unloading their criminals, welfare class, baby makers, on us.

Even beyond that, selective enforcement is an offense to Western civilization that is the bedrock foundation of American culture and society. Selective enforcement by public decree should offend everyone with an IQ over 80.

So you turn 800,000 people loose, legally, in a bad economy and what do you get? For sure more welfare support and unemployment payments. Not to worry, the people who do work will pick up the tab, while immigration law is flouted by our Chief Exec.

“We believe this is very just,” Calderon said, according to an interpreter, adding: “Thank you for the valor and courage that you had in implementing this action. I’m sure many, many families in the United States thank you as well.”

Really?? Very just??

Since you love it so much Mr. Calderon, I’m sure you’ll immediately extend the same offer to the thousands of Guatemalans crossing your border in search of a better life.

Instead of beating the crap out of them or holding them in your prisons.

In a CBS interview, he was asked if he would repeal the Executive Order. He changed the subject to the fact that we need an overall plan – MSNBC howled. They called this waffling (from waffle.)

My goodness, I would have embarked about the social, political and legal complications attendant to repealing an act as opposed to just passing a new one which is why rash moves like this are so dangerous.

Yeah, that constitution, I agree, Romney wouldn’t do that. Obama uses it for toilet paper.

HornetSting on June 18, 2012 at 4:05 PM

The guy that invented the Obamacare mandate wouldn’t do that?

FloatingRock on June 18, 2012 at 4:49 PM

State vs Federal, but I believe Romney would have allowed the dream act to be legislated, where it would have failed, Rock.
And, no, I don’t agree with Romneycare, but I’m hoping it will only take half a bottle of Jäger to get me to the voting booth this time.

“We believe this is very just,” Calderon said, according to an interpreter, adding: “Thank you for the valor and courage that you had in implementing this action. I’m sure many, many families in the United States thank you as well.”

No matter how many illegal families have been made happy by this, there are many, many more that do not want Mr.Obama’s kind of reforms, nor appreciate his way of implementing them. Major backfire awaits.
Then, the American people will have what is just.

Yeah, we’re the suckers on immigration. We will let anyone in…they’re unloading their criminals, welfare class, baby makers, on us.

HornetSting on June 18, 2012 at 4:34 PM

you missed part of my point there Hornet…they are already here and have been milking our cows for years because our kids won’t get out of bed to do it…

don’t get me wrong…I view this whole thing as a joke…the parents able to get in illegally and now their kids get the free pass (LOTTO!!!)…

now for Obamatuer to say that they are our future…would be fine if they they could cure cancer but they are picking lettuce and milking cows…figure out a work permit system for the jobs that our failed youth won’t do and send them home when they don’t want to do it anymore.
